Before You Begin

Before using this guide to issue Technician Interface commands, you must

• Install the hardware platform.

• Use one of the following methods to establish a connection to the platform:

-- Connect the serial port of an ASCII terminal device (for example, a DEC

VT100) directly to the console port of the platform.

-- Connect the serial port of a workstation or PC directly to the console port

of the platform. (Run ASCII terminal emulation software on the

workstation or PC.)

-- Dial in to the console port of the platform from a workstation or PC

running ASCII terminal emulation software. This alternative requires one

modem locally attached to your workstation or PC, and another modem

locally attached to the console port of the platform you want to access.

-- Establish a Telnet (in-band) connection to the platform.

Note:

Before you can access the Technician Interface using Telnet, the

platform must have at least one assigned IP address. Although there is no limit

to the number of Telnet connections that you can make to the Technician

Interface, we recommend that you establish no more than one Telnet session

per platform.
